FSU's DeMarcus Walker not fond of Florida Gators fans

Florida State defensive end Demarcus Walker isn’t too fond of Florida fans on social media.

He’s also didn’t take a dig from Republican presidential candidate and UF alumnus Marco Rubio well earlier this season either.

“They talk so much crap on Twitter, now it’s time for them to watch us do work — especially the guy running for President who talked crap,” Walker said, looking forward to the No. 13 Seminoles’ regular season finale against the No. 12 Gators on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in Gainesville.

Walker said UF fans “came after me” and chose to take note of the responses. He added that Gators fans also randomly tweet him out of the blue but “it just goes in one ear and out the other.”

“I really don’t pay no mind to it,” Walker said. “I scan through it, but I really don’t. What could they do to impact this game? Just scream louder? I can impact this game more than them so I don’t pay them no mind.”

UF has a chance at an at-large bid for a New Year’s Six Bowl game and an outside shot at the College Football Playoff if it can beat FSU and Alabama in the SEC championship game on Dec. 5.

Walker doesn’t like the fact FSU is ranked as a lower team, but is focused on helping the Seminoles spoil UF’s chances while also working toward an at-large bid.

“You cannot take your opponent lightly,” Walker said. “You got to go in every game with the same mindset: To dominate. You can’t lower your level.

"Florida is a great team. I don’t take nothing from them. I don’t like their fan base, but they’re a great team.”
